The teddy bear is Scraggles. The skunk Beanie Baby on his lap is Stripe (because I didn't like the tagged name of "Stinky" when I was six).

We're working on it, fair person. Be patient with us.
Also, since the Egora won't currently accept links, I found three of 7-9 generations of hats for everyone's enjoyment: https://ibb.co/5nMvgVn
Edit: And yes, unapologetically, that is Scraggles, who I've had since three, and Stripe, who I've had since six, in the background. They've literally travelled Canada and a bit of Asia with me.

I'm talking with Sovin, and I've handled the minutia for the most part before, but he's driving the bus right now .

You've come a long way since Salvatore .
Glad you read it, though I've tried to start the third book a number of times now and I'm feeling a Hyperion/Endymion split, as far as my appreciation goes.

The Unholy Consult / Re: Why would the Inchoroi fear damnation?

Most, if not all, of those journeys are Ajokli-mediated, though, right? Even in Kellhus' (!!) ignorance.

« on: May 14, 2020, 03:36:26 pm »Other ensouled beings looked into the Inverse Fire and their experience was very similar to that of the Inchoroi. In fact, Kellhus was the only different one in this regard.
True say. I need to write up on this - I do think (and I might be an outlier) that that one difference was due to Ajokellhus' possession (?) at the time.
EDIT: Accurate television portrayal. Convinced Murder-Bots to believe it mattered to them. Something something

I miss your posts, Rots.
I can't say I disagree regarding the representation of OG-Consult.
(I'll be back later on topic.)

I have other thoughts I want to get to in this thread (but I need time and space) and I'm actually not sure that we can do more than correlate souls to the ability to exercise sorcery *but* I can see only those who survived the onta-grasping graft (six Inchoroi total) being the only ensoulled of the Inchoroi-Sranc.

The Unholy Consult / [TUC Spoilers] Ajokli, Gods, and Chorae
« on: May 04, 2020, 09:04:39 pm »
I was reading a Reddit thread in the past couple weeks and one of the comments made me genuinely curious: by what mechanism do we think Ajokli/Kellhus could force all the Chorae and the skin-spies to the ground in the Ark?

The Unholy Consult / Re: Why would the Inchoroi fear damnation?
« on: May 04, 2020, 08:56:54 pm »It crosses my mind that the Ark is simply a vessel, controlled by an advanced AI, which requires a guidance system/OS (Sarcophagus with an Insertant), and every Inchoroi etc. is actually a biomech machine, soulless from the beginning. The Progenitors deceived the Inchoroi with the Inverse Fire as a goad to carry out their orders, by showing the truth of damnation - however this damnation was only applicable to the Progenitors, NOT the Inchoroi, that are like upgraded Sranc and subject to the NG themselves upon Initiation/Resumption.
I think this is very likely succinct, stuslayer
. Though, Somnambulist has always made me wonder if Shauriatas has somehow managed to co-opt "the AI" and the Mutilated with some soultech sorcery combo.

The Legend of Bagger Vance - Steven Pressfield (3)
Very impressed by it but I think that's mostly because I was once hit and miss with perennial philosophy and I've resumed being an avid and terrible golfer in the past half decade. I've been convinced in the past two years that everyone needs to find and read at least a handful of Pressfield's books in their lifetimes though, even if I don't necessarily agree with his underlying esoterics.

Don't trust our search function, sci. Also, I searched "Italo Calvino" who has apparently come up a number of times on the forum. Interesting.
